The creators of Pavement Licker, a street art zine founded in 2003, have released a mammoth 518-page hardback compendium of all its issues. Featuring work by renowned and unknown artists and writers alike, the zine began as a way to support creatives in publishing work “without pushing a particular agenda or manifesto”. Over the years it has received contributions from David Shrigley, Banksy, Kate Moross, Shepard Fairey, Pure Evil, Paul Insect, Ellannah Sadkin, Jamie Hewlett, Mr Bingo, Andrew Rae, Chrysa Koukoura, Kelsey Brookes and Jon Burgerman.

“It’s a snapshot of the underground art world for most of this century,” says co-founder Josh Jones, who you may remember as the maker of Celebrities in Ramen, “a unique document of the rise and rise of the street art scene.” All the work is black and white, and, while the styles vary, a punk attitude prevails throughout.

The book also features quotes from its higher profile contributors, in response to a request for submissions. For example, Jamie Hewlett: “I’ve got loads of doodles – as long as you’re prepared to take something filthy… finally, an outlet!” and Banksy: “I don’t have anything lying around that isn’t shit I’m afraid.”

Shepard Fairey says: “Some questions are black and white. Pavement Licker and I see eye to eye on the answers to the questions of whether to be conformist or irreverent, passive or creative, elitist or accessible. Pavement Licker demonstrates that one colour can answer some very important questions!”

Mr Bingo also aptly describes the zine: “It’s like Heat magazine, but it’s black and white and the pictures and the words are better.”

Design studio Córdova Canillas is a constant source of inspiration. We previously featured the studio for its work with Fuet magazine, Creatives’ Club and the time when the team shared an insight into how the studio began. More recently, Diego Cordova and Marti Canillas channelled their expertise into a completely fresh redesign of Fucking Young! magazine.

A new book collating 350 retro posters, pressbooks and stills from the “golden age” of porn cinema is being published by Reel Art Press. X-Rated Adult Movie Posters of the 60s and 70s by Tony Nourmand and Graham Marsh celebrates the unashamedly crude, cut-and-pasted collage artwork made to promote these B-movies and their provocative titles such as Flesh Gordon and Come One Come All.

“Riding the line between brutal exorcism and a poetic sublime, boxing has produced more legends than any other sport of the last century,” so says Anicee Gaddis in an article in Victory Journal which takes a closer look at Ghana’s boxing scene.

Graphic designer Paul Bouigue’s offbeat zine, Le mois d’août is about holidays and how various inanimate objects feel during the summer break. “Actually they are not feeling very cool – they kind of feel forgotten,” says Paul. Inspired by the time he spends alone working at his parents’ house, Paul thought it would be interesting to draw the objects around him that he often ignores. “I wanted to make them look and feel how I was feeling.”

German illustrator Max Löffler’s project Daymare Boogie is “an attempt to understand and grasp this raging current called modern life”. Addressing our imperfections and the anxieties faced by all, the black and white zine looks at the issues surrounding individuals in society. “The idea derives from a project I did before called Psychic Vault. It was about subconscious memory and I had a lot more ideas that would fit in the zine, so I just kept on illustrating,” explains Max. “When I had a decent amount, I stumbled upon 100for10 by Melville Brand Design, which is an artist book project with each book consisting of 100 black and white pages available to buy for 10€. I contacted them and started to work on the illustrations so that they would fit in the concept of Daymare Boogie.”
